Description

Robert De Niro gives the performance of his career as Jake La Motta, a boxer whose psychological and sexual complexities erupt into violence both in and out of the ring. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty are unforgettable as the brother who falls prey to Jake's mounting paranoia and jealousy, and the fifteen-year-old girl who becomes the most prized trophy. Raging Bull garnered eight Oscar nominations, and won two, including Best Actor for De Niro.

If you don't know the story of Jake LaMotta then i won't spoil the movie by telling you it here but suffice to say it's a harrowing journey and brilliantly portrayed in the movie with both DeNiro and Scorsese on top form, this movie simply must be seen by anyone with even a passing interest in boxing and arguably it's a better experience for those that have no prior knowledge of boxing or the man himself.
As a bluray release there are some problems however but then this movie is now over 30 years old as it was first released in 1980 but the good news is that they are just minor picture issues and there is nothing that distracts from the film as a whole. The film is at it's cleanest for this bluray release however and is the best it's going to get i would have thought which makes this the release to own, there is of course quite alot of grain but then it's mostly intentional to give the film an aged look and only rarely does it border on being too grainy and noisy but it's better like this and adds to the documentary feel just like Saving Private Ryan. There is some differences with black levels between some scenes (this is a black and white movie) and also a few instances of picture noise but none of it major but it's worth mentioning for anyone who expects the bluray to be perfect, it isn't but it's close.
You get a DTS-HD-MA remastered soundtrack or the option for the original 2.0 Dolby Surround soundtrack and a chioce of spanish and russian languages and the film is presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio (full screen) and full 1080p HD.
As for extras you get 4 new featurettes for the bluray but nothing else that's new although the extras are still worthy of the disc and of good quality with some nice insights into the movie.
All in all it's a great release and the best way to watch the movie so it comes highly recommended from me, buy it!
